◌ Aroma

Superdelic hops deliver a striking nose of wild berries—blackberry and raspberry notes—layered with pithy tropical fruit, suggesting guava and passionfruit. A subtle mineral undertone from the limestone-rich water grounds the aromatic profile, while the pale Malz base recedes into the background, allowing the hop character to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and creamy, with the Superdelic hop's berry and tropical notes unfolding across the palate. Mid-palate builds a moderate, clean bitterness (50 IBU) that integrates smoothly rather than brashly, supported by light Malz sweetness and a mineral dryness from the water chemistry. The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering hop bitterness and fruit character.

◑ Finish

The bitterness trails into a dry, refreshing aftertaste with persistent pithy hop notes and fading berry undertones. At 7% ABV, the beer drinks light and approachable, leaving the palate cleansed and ready for the next sip.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
